Israeli cameras in "Tel Aviv" in 2020
An Iranian hacker group going by the name of "Moses Staff" hacked into the Israeli closed-circuit television cameras (CCTV) on occupied Palestinian streets.
On Friday morning, the group posted a video on its Telegram channel showing the hacking and wrote "We see with our eyes and have been surveilling you for many years, at every moment and on every step."
The group added that the hacking constitutes "one part" only of its surveillance over Israeli activities through access to CCTV cameras.
The hacker group warned the Israelis that it would "strike when they never would have imagined."
According to "Moses Staff", the information it possesses is critical considering the international restrictions that limit accurate access to aerial photos within the occupied lands, later issuing a video that shows photographs and maps of "Tel Aviv's" critical facilities.
The attack is not the first of its kind. In October last year, Israeli media reported that the "Moses Staff" hacking group leaked information about the Israeli occupation forces that includes the data of hundreds of occupation soldiers and pre-military middle school students.
According to the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, the leaked information includes full details about an Israeli combat brigade, its structure, names of its members, their jobs, and qualifications.
Major Iranian cyberattack targeted Israeli servers
Days after the first attack, Iranians hacked the servers of an Israeli company that build and store websites, Israeli newspaper Maariv's main headline read.
The newspaper indicated that this hack led to the leak of huge information, and pointed out that among the companies whose data was exposed were bus companies, the Israeli Broadcasting Corporation, and the lottery.
Local experts described the hack as the "largest sabotage operation" targeting privacy in the history of "Israel".
Israeli media also reported that Iranian hacker group "Black Shadow" hacked and disrupted the servers of the Israeli Internet company Cyberserve.
